Online security is more important than ever, and one of the simplest ways to protect your accounts—including your e-commerce account—is by resetting your password regularly. Using the same password for too long makes you vulnerable to cyber threats, data breaches, and unauthorized access.
Why It Matters
- Prevent Unauthorized Access – Weak or old passwords make it easier for hackers to get in.
- Data Breaches Happen – Even large companies experience leaks, exposing your credentials.
- Protect Your Financial Info – If your shopping account is compromised, so are your saved payment details.
- Stay Ahead of Cybercriminals – Hackers use advanced tools to crack passwords. Frequent updates make their job harder.
How Often Should You Reset?
Experts recommend changing passwords every three to six months or immediately if you suspect suspicious activity or hear about a data breach. Here at Tanga we recommend at least once a year.
Creating a Strong Password
- Use a mix of uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Avoid personal info, common words, or easily guessed phrases.
- Consider a passphrase, like a string of unrelated words, for added security.
- Use a password manager to generate and store unique passwords for each account.
